Just had my XFR delivered and the first thing it gets is a good bath and a quality tint job:

Also relocated the extra //R badge to the grille from the ACC sensor where the previous owner had it:

Crazy how much of a night and day difference a good tint job will make. The installer was able to cover the third brake light even though it is really tough to reach which I was pretty happy about. I came back to the shop this morning to get my wife's car tinted and they were doing a photo shoot for the revamp of their website. They asked me if they could photograph my car in a lineup of other cars of theirs for the site and I said sure
So that is pretty cool!
Detector hardwire is going in next week, mandatory for this car.
I still think black wheels would look so good on the car but I don't want to mess with that right now. I might have posted it in the other thread but there are three carbon fiber bits from Mina Gallery I am considering adding:
CF Apron splitters

Less sold on the CF eyelids, although it would give it a more aggressive look like the 2012+

Also not sure about the CF hood vents:

Here is the whole Mina car (also has the Black Pak grill vs. my chrome)

Mina also makes a hand laid CF rear diffuser like those on the 2012+s...but I think it's a little much. Here is one on a black car with the Mina exhaust:

Curious to hear your MM's thoughts. I really want to keep this car clean and classy but you all know me...I like to add my own touches and help my vehicles stand out even more :thumbup:
